Star Wars: The Old Republic Random Question/Discussion thread - F2P

[Kwijiboe]

Hm, is there gonna be a huge discrepancy in classes? Like 10000 Jedi Knights?

I always end up playing a support class because they are rarer/more needed-- but I kinda want to play the derp derp class for once.

[Lucavi]

I know what I'd play if I bought it. Healing rockets all the way. Let the blue explosions envelop you...

[Agito]

I wonder if all the healing classes will be equal to eachother in terms of raw healing power or if some of them will be more of a mediocre healer with a variety of buffs to maintain.

[Greedouw]

for sure sticking to Bounty Hunter on release

[vrumpt]

Mercenary BH all the way.


EDIT: by the way, Justswtor is gone for good.

Okay, I'll break the news to you guys. we are now closed. Unfortunately the pressure from BioWare is proving to be too much and no one wants to get sued, so I apologize for the inconvenience, but we are gonna sign off gracefully and hope someone else picks up the baton.

Well it was much faster to DL the client this time. Took me about 9ish hours

[vrumpt]

Thats not awful considering its like 40GB.

Sounds like end game content is going to be in this build, or at least the Eternity Vault operation. Stephen Reid mentioned on the forums that those loot bags were in testing now, so they should be there. Hoping other end game content is in as well.


And PC Gamer UK's August issue had a few pieces of info
http://www.swtor.com/community/showthread.php?t=401511

The items that do not drop for you (or do not appear in your loot bag) from boss kills can all be bought from the commendation vendor.

To access new flashpoints you have to clear beginner ones.

There will be no pre-raid armor grind. You will enter low-level raids in the armor you finished your story in.

Loot bags can contain upgrades for weapons and armor.

SWTOR's landscapes have had a graphical overhaul.

So yeah, i'm anxious for details on all of it. /thirst

Put down 50$ today for my Star Wars Collectors pre-order today at lolGameStop

[Lucavi]

So with the whole pre-order business, are you giving 50 bucks to Gamestop in ADDITION to the full price of the game, or does that 50 bucks go towards the cost of the game so GS doesn't make any extra money outside of the sale?

[Kwijiboe]

It's 50$ down, lol. As in down payment. It goes towards the purchase.

I'm thinking Im gonna go with trooper. 90% of community will have a lightsaber. So, it's gonna feel stale since you're using same weapon for the entire game.

[Lucavi]

Gotcha.

[vrumpt]

The JustSWTOR guy still has videos he's going to upload and link around for download. He put a couple up today, all of em are pretty good quality.

Jedi Sentinal

Trooper

Jedi Consular (technically from yesterday but it wasn't up long before the site went down)

EDIT: Alterswtor uploaded them all to stream if you'd prefer that route
http://www.alterswtor.com/

Also some of the guys who are uploading and other testers say the videos aren't really an accurate representation of the game and don't do it justice, so keep it in mind if you watch vids.

sentinel video is awesome, cant waittttt

[Alderaan]

I'm sure this has been suggested by testers, but someone in beta suggest they implement AOE looting.

[Kwijiboe]

AOE looting? Is that like Diablo II style-pick up loot? Or you only get to lot if you're near/participating in the kill?

[Gokulo]

AOE looting? Is that like Diablo II style-pick up loot? Or you only get to lot if you're near/participating in the kill?

I think he means looting like in Rift, that is if you have a couple of bodies of monsters you killed nearby and click to loot one of the it will loot all bodies.

[Katlan]

[Bebopaloo]
